Three main tracks will form the second edition of AMECSE:

Papers

Tutorials

Posters

For the technical research track, we invite high quality submissions of original and unpublished papers of all types of work, whether empirical, theoretical, tool-oriented, or conceptual. We specifically promote papers addressing the deployment of the latest software engineering technologies, practices, and innovations to overcome the economical, social, and environmental challenges facing countries in the Africa and the Middle East.

Format and Submission Guidelines:

No more than 6 pages for the main text, inclusive of figures, tables, appendices and references.
Up to 2 more pages can be purchased for extra fees of $100 per page.
All papers must conform, at time of submission, to the ACM Formatting Guidelines.
All submissions must be in PDF format.

The tutorials track aims at providing an opportunity for Software Engineering researchers and practitioners to share their experiences with the software engineering community through educating their colleagues about the technologies of the tutorials. Tutorials are scheduled for either half-day or full day and will include detailed presentation of the topic. The tutorials might also provide hands-on experience using technology related tools.

Tutorials proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline indicated.
